Frequently asked questions

Who is the most connected player in Survivor history?

Oscar Lusth is the most central hub in the co-star network, having directly played alongside 91 different castaways. Centrality here counts distinct people played with across all of a castaway's seasons, using the same connection data as the interactive graph.

How many degrees of separation are there between Survivor players?

Within the main connected group of 695 castaways, any two are on average about 3.2 connections apart, and the furthest-apart pair is 6 steps. In other words, most of the Survivor cast is a short chain of shared seasons away from anyone else.

What makes a castaway a "connection hub"?

A hub has played with an unusually large number of other castaways, usually by returning for several seasons, especially all-star and returnee seasons that pack many veterans onto one cast. The ranking blends raw connection count (degree) with betweenness, a measure of how often a player sits on the shortest path between two others.

Are all Survivor castaways connected to each other?

695 of 751 castaways sit in one large connected web; the rest belong to smaller pockets or seasons with no returnees linking them onward. The degrees-of-separation figures describe that main connected group, since separation is only defined between players who share a chain at all.
